    Difference between RT and X Valve

    Am I to understand that the X-valve has a responsive trigger just like an RT valve (like my 98c's RT)?

    Thanks.

      yes. The only differece is an x valve is built to be lighter and it has the level 10 anti chop bolt standard.

          Thanks, I always wondered why so many people would need the X-valve's fast cycle if it was so hard to get an electronic grip.

              it's different than the 98's response trigger tho, the x-valve's reactivity snaps the trigger back after each shot. i've fired an a-5 w/ response and it was very different than the x-valve

                  Yes, the X-Valve is RT just like a Retro Valve and a Mag RT except quite a bit lighter.

                  They both achieve the same result but the Tippmann and AGD RT designs are radically different. I've used both and find that the Mag response trigger is a bit more "responsive" than the Tippy's, probably due to the fact the the Mag responsiveness is built directly into the valve and the Tippy requires a separate piston chamber in the grip.

                  To get the full benefit of the AGD RT you can employ an E-grip or increase the pressure of the air supply. Jacking your input pressure up to around 900-1000psi will give you LOTS of bounce in a RT capable valve without the need for an electronic grip.

                      in e-mag and rt-maf, the on-off is different at a x-valve. no quad o-ring.
